STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 הֵן לְצֶדֶק יִמְלָךְ־מֶלֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִים לְמִשְׁפָּט יָשֹׂרוּ	1 Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
2 וְהָיָה־אִישׁ כְּמַחֲבֵא־רוּחַ וְסֵתֶר זָרֶם כְּפַלְגֵי־מַיִם בְּצָיֹון כְּצֵל סֶלַע־כָּבֵד בְּאֶרֶץ עֲיֵפָה	2 And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
3 וְלֹא תִשְׁעֶינָה עֵינֵי רֹאִים וְאָזְנֵי שֹׁמְעִים תִּקְשַׁבְנָה	3 The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
4 וּלְבַב נִמְהָרִים יָבִין לָדָעַת וּלְשֹׁון עִלְּגִים תְּמַהֵר לְדַבֵּר צָחֹות	4 And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
5 לֹא־יִקָּרֵא עֹוד לְנָבָל נָדִיב וּלְכִילַי לֹא יֵאָמֵר שֹׁועַ	5 He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
6 כִּי נָבָל נְבָלָה יְדַבֵּר וְלִבֹּו יַעֲשֶׂה־אָוֶן לַעֲשֹׂות חֹנֶף וּלְדַבֵּר אֶל־יְהוָה תֹּועָה לְהָרִיק נֶפֶשׁ רָעֵב וּמַשְׁקֶה צָמֵא יַחְסִיר	6 For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
7 וְכֵלַי כֵּלָיו רָעִים הוּא זִמֹּות יָעָץ לְחַבֵּל [עֲנָוִים כ] (עֲנִיִּים ק) בְּאִמְרֵי־שֶׁקֶר וּבְדַבֵּר אֶבְיֹון מִשְׁפָּט	7 The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
8 וְנָדִיב נְדִיבֹות יָעָץ וְהוּא עַל־נְדִיבֹות יָקוּם׃ פ	8 Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
9 נָשִׁים שַׁאֲנַנֹּות קֹמְנָה שְׁמַעְנָה קֹולִי בָּנֹות בֹּטחֹות הַאְזֵנָּה אִמְרָתִי	9 You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
10 יָמִים עַל־שָׁנָה תִּרְגַּזְנָה בֹּטְחֹות כִּי כָּלָה בָצִיר אֹסֶף בְּלִי יָבֹוא	10 For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
11 חִרְדוּ שַׁאֲנַנֹּות רְגָזָה בֹּטְחֹות פְּשֹׁטָה וְעֹרָה וַחֲגֹורָה עַל־חֲלָצָיִם	11 Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
12 עַל־שָׁדַיִם סֹפְדִים עַל־שְׂדֵי־חֶמֶד עַל־גֶּפֶן פֹּרִיָּה	12 Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
13 עַל אַדְמַת עַמִּי קֹוץ שָׁמִיר תַּעֲלֶה כִּי עַל־כָּל־בָּתֵּי מָשֹׂושׂ קִרְיָה עַלִּיזָה	13 Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
14 כִּי־אַרְמֹון נֻטָּשׁ הֲמֹון עִיר עֻזָּב עֹפֶל וָבַחַן הָיָה בְעַד מְעָרֹות עַד־עֹולָם מְשֹׂושׂ פְּרָאִים מִרְעֵה עֲדָרִים	14 For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
15 עַד־יֵעָרֶה עָלֵינוּ רוּחַ מִמָּרֹום וְהָיָה מִדְבָּר לַכַּרְמֶל [וְכַרְמֶל כ] (וְהַכַּרְמֶל ק) לַיַּעַר יֵחָשֵׁב	15 until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
16 וְשָׁכַן בַּמִּדְבָּר מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה בַּכַּרְמֶל תֵּשֵׁב	16 And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
17 וְהָיָה מַעֲשֵׂה הַצְּדָקָה שָׁלֹום וַעֲבֹדַת הַצְּדָקָה הַשְׁקֵט וָבֶטַח עַד־עֹולָם	17 And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
18 וְיָשַׁב עַמִּי בִּנְוֵה שָׁלֹום וּבְמִשְׁכְּנֹות מִבְטַחִים וּבִמְנוּחֹת שַׁאֲנַנֹּות	18 And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
19 וּבָרַד בְּרֶדֶת הַיָּעַר וּבַשִּׁפְלָה תִּשְׁפַּל הָעִיר	19 But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
20 אַשְׁרֵיכֶם זֹרְעֵי עַל־כָּל־מָיִם מְשַׁלְּחֵי רֶגֶל־הַשֹּׁור וְהַחֲמֹור׃ ס	20 Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
